Each sample of a metallic or composite cable tie classified according to 6.2.3 (Type 2), is subjected to the tensile pull according to 9.6.1 until the load equivalent to the loop tensile strength declared by the manufacturer is reached. This load is maintained for 60 s.

The samples are tested according to the requirements in 9.6.1.

Each sample of a fixing device are subjected to the tensile pull according to 9.7.1.

After the test, there shall be no sign of disintegration of a fixing device or any crack visible to normal or corrected vision.

A metallic cable tie having a non-metallic coating that is depended upon to provide resistance to corrosion, and that is declared as having resistance to ultraviolet light, are subjected to the conditioning in 11.1 followed by the appropriate requirements in 11.2 for metallic cable ties.

The requirements in 11.2 are not applicable for a metallic cable tie with a non-metallic coating when the uncoated version has been determined to meet the requirements in 11.2.
